  1. “Nearly 39M uneployed this week”
    It would actually be 39M but 100.000 are dead so wont count.
    Well done jaffaflake whiner45… “good job”

    1. Sperup AD you sit and complain bout the government but wanting to depend on the government.

    2. @David Hale Have you noticed that there is a pandemic going around out of control?
      What’s the price of reactivating the economy so that tRump can claim to be the hero of the day, 200,000? 500,00? How large will be the death toll by November? Is Donnie playing around with the lives of hundreds of thousands of American citizens just to get reelected?

    3. Sperup AD so there’s no pandemic inside a Walmart target etc? It only happens in small businesses? Is that your argument. So big corporations are immune from the pandemic?

    4. @David Hale Ok, again, everyone is having a hard time, but corporations have more resources to get by. We need to adapt to the new normal and modify our economy. But, in order to do that, we need to support the base of society, the Ameirican people who lives paycheck to paycheck. Most of the money of those incentive packages should be given to the people, and the opposite is true, corporations are getting the biggest piece of the pie.

    1. Thanks for putting it in perspective. WTF? Thinking twice, that’s nucking futs. Can’t nucking believe it!!!!!!

    1. That McConnell can block any bill he chooses with authority he granted himself proves that our current government is no longer the Representative Democracy it once was. McConnell routinely kills Democracy in the grim reaper guise he is so proud of wearing. May the real grim reaper knock on his door soon.

    2. @Cooking with TSS He’s just as bad as Trump, he doesn’t care about this country or the people in it. Moscow Mitch…his only concerns are his investments in Russia…and doing Trumps bidding just like the rest of the stupid Republican Senators who didn’t vote to oust Trump when they had the chance. He was and is guilty, anyone who can’t see that is blind.

    3. @Mike Galbraith Trump, McConnell and Barr have destroyed our democracy and trampled all of our constitution… it’s really sad. Trump has systematically fired all IG’s so there is no oversight now, everytime they get close to uncovering whatever corruption he’s currently involved in he just fires them…he’s a power hungry autocrat, he’s raping this country and laughing. He better hope he gets elected because he’s going to jail when it’s all over…Funny how Hillary never did a day in jail, wow all the conspiracy theories worked. That poor woman, I never particularly loved her but God knows she would have been a better president than the current laughing stock of the world!! We used to lead the world when it came to National catastrophes. Now we have a paranoid schizophrenic at the helm and we can’t even take care of our own country. He was notified in January about this virus, I heard about it on the news and he called it a Democrat Hoax…Pathetic!

  2. And 3 trillion divided by the population of 328,000 = $9,146 per person in this country. I don’t feel like I’ve received anything from this cesspool of filth.

    2% deaths = 6.6 Million with and M.

    1. You forgot to factor in the tens of millions they have to give to each corporations and financial institutions before they even think about the everyday citizens.

  3. They ain’t worried about their employees they are worried that their business doesn’t go under let’s have it right

  4. I don’t know about anyone else but im real sick of being called a “worker” it sounds like peasant. Like that is all we are good for. Lets get those worker bees back out there…. 😳

    1. @big jabaz *< yet another stupid shallow comment. stupid shallow must never get old with you folks*

    2. Well, yeah, I hate to break it to you, but that’s is exactly how the white collar class feels about “Workers”

  5. It’s not going to work you will see.
    Politicians are not on the same planet as the rest of us. They don’t care about anybody except their money.

    “HELLO PEOPLE ARE SCARED TO GO TO WORK”

    “CORONAVIRUS HELLO”

  6. We are slowly opening back up, but we must understand this will take years to rebound economically not months! If we have to assist those in need so be it, that’s the American way!

    1. Let’s help the people that need it, not planned parenthood or changing voting laws.

  7. Hey everyone, there was a plane crash in Pakistan that killed a hundred and seven people, let us pray

    1. @Crystal Giddens how is that stupid??? I live in USA we are all experiencing a pandemic. I feel bad for the lost lives, but once again people here are dying also. Liberals and socialist can’t see anything. Why is that????????

    2. @Marcia Wilso you “see a pandemic” on the “news.” may as well watch leave it to beaver or the munsters…

    3. @Crystal Giddens clearly you’re off you’re medication, Wahan Virus you can’t make this crap up. I’m not surprised by your education teaching you too hate, rebel, ignore the truth even you can see it yourself because it’s unpleasant.

    4. They prolly woulda died from corono anyway. This time it was quick. Good for them im sure they are better off.

  8. At can tune in here and get the best information Joe , Mika , Willie and informed guests leave no doubt on where we stand as a country.
